Chilled water expansion project: Closure of sidewalk west of Hale Library

Beginning Monday, Sept. 28, the sidewalk immediately west of Hale Library will close for the installation of two 18-inch diameter pipes as part of the chilled water expansion project.

In preparation for closing off this main sidewalk, the contractor will construct a temporary narrow sidewalk adjacent to the west side of Hale Library beginning as early as today. The narrower sidewalk will limit the usual number of people who can easily pass by each other, so all pedestrians are encouraged to navigate around this area by walking around the west side of English and Counseling Services Building or the east side of Hale Library.

The temporary sidewalk will be completed before the piping construction begins on Sept. 28. This piping installation work is expected to take four to six weeks.
